“…Several studies in rural areas contaminated with As, located all over the word, indicate that As accumulates in some parts of the rice plants, such as the roots, shoot, rice husk, and in the rice grains [66][67][68], and As accumulation in paddy roots was 28-and 75-fold higher than in shoots and rice grains, respectively [66]. The relative distribution of the organic and inorganic As species among different rice cultivars varies depending on the geographic origin, the rice-growing condition and level of contamination [69]. Some authors, analyzing many samples from Bangladesh, India, and Europe stated that As(III) is the dominant arsenic species in rice grain, followed by As(V) and (DMA) [68][69][70].…”

“…DMA(III) is the likely second product, but its instability in air results in rapid oxidation to DMA(V) under aerobic conditions [95]. MMAs(V) and DMA(V) have often been detected in vegetative tissues and grains of rice plants [69]. However, no arsM orthologs have been found in higher plants, only in microalgae, so the main source of the methylated arsenic species appears to be microbial in origin [96].…”

Arsenic (As) is quite an abundant metalloid, with ancient origin and ubiquitous distribution, which represents a severe environmental risk and a global problem for public health. Microbial exposure to As compounds in the environment has happened since the beginning of time. Selective pressure has induced the evolution of various genetic systems conferring useful capacities in many microorganisms to detoxify and even use arsenic, as an energy source. This review summarizes the microbial impact of the As biogeochemical cycle. Moreover, the poorly known adverse effects of this element on eukaryotic microbes, as well as the As uptake and detoxification mechanisms developed by yeast and protists, are discussed. Finally, an outlook of As microbial remediation makes evident the knowledge gaps and the necessity of new approaches to mitigate this environmental challenge.

“…It has been reported that long-term exposure to iAs can cause diseases such as cancer, skin lesions, diabetes, and hypertension (Cubadda et al, 2017). Therefore, it is very necessary to conduct the health risk assessment of human exposure to iAs in food and drinking water (Samal et al, 2021;Moulick et al, 2021). However, reports have indicated that the dominant compounds of As in clam products are the less toxic organic forms.…”

Marine clam is one of the main sources of arsenic (As), and the tidal flats of Jiangsu Province are considered major culturing areas for clams in mid-eastern China. In view of increasingly severe pollution in this region, concerns have been raised by the consumers with the safety of clams they purchased or may purchase. To address these concerns, we conducted a multi-year survey to determine the levels of As and As species in five major clam species cultivated in eight production areas of this region. Based on the above analysis data, Bayesian statistics used a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach was applied to predict the toxic As residue distributions in clams produced in this region and their health risks to Chinese adults. It was found that the bioaccumulation ability of total As (tAs) and inorganic As (iAs) was species-specific, while Mactra veneriformis (MV) had the strongest accumulation capacity for toxic iAs (0.22–2.85 mg/kg dw). Up to 6.7% of the tested MV samples exceeding the iAs limit of China Food and Drug Administration. The content of iAs was also found to be related significantly to the harvest seasons, with clam in the spawning period (June) having the lowest iAs concentrations. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risk from dietary exposure to iAs associated with MV consumption was rather high, which suggested that specific attention should be paid to the safety of clam consumption in this region.
